similar to: Asterisk as a Condo door opener/intercom

Asterisk as a phone system makes perfect sense in a condo. You can get all the DID's you want and eliminate costs for the owners. You can offer standard FXO for people who don't care and IP sets for people who want to "upgrade" to feature sets. Your door openner is a piece of cake. 1. Create an option in your dialplan only in the "from-access-door" context that reads

a customer of mine needs a UPS capable of supporting a small server in his office. Obviously, nut is a good thing for him for clean shutdown etc. especially with the crappy quality power in his office condo. I wanted to purchase an MGE UPS but it looks like they purchased APC and are now flogging that product line. Now, I've never been happy with APC. I have an APC 3000 (sans

Hello I assume I'm not the first one to think about this: Is it possible to connect an intercom and/or door bell to Asterisk, so that I can get an e-mail that someone rang my place while I was out? Even better: If used for a doctor's office, it'd be cool if patients could type their Social Security Number on a keypad, which would open the door and notify Asterisk which would then

Following the "security = domain in Samba 2.x" document in the SWAT documentation page I do this: root@pc194-79:/usr/local/samba/bin# smbpasswd -j MDU -r pv-mdu-server1 -Ujohnm%xxxxxxxx Joined domain MDU. root@pc194-79:/usr/local/samba/bin# This is in [globals]: security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes password server = pv-mdu-server1 pv-mdu-server2 And now I start Samba via smbd

OK, I have been wrestling with this for two weeks now, so somebody please help ! We have an existing Samba Print Server, running RedHat linux, kernel 2.2.19, that runs fine, but is a P133 with 64 mb ram. So we built a new PC, the slowest thing we could buy, a duron 1 ghz with 512 mb RAM. Old printer server is running Samba 2.2.5, new printer server is running samba 2.2.5, and Slackware 8.1,

Hi! I am new to asterisk and I'd like to know wheter the following scenario is possible: Someone press the Button on the door station. The door station dials lets say the extension 333. I take the call on 333 and talk with the person on the door. Now I'd like to activate the door opener by pressing some numbers on the analog telefon. Asterisk should now recognize that I pressed

Hi, Does anybody know of a VoIP compatible doorbell or door intercom unit? I've contemplated buying a cheap SIP phone, ripping it apart, and putting it inside an IP66 sealed unit... It would need: - At least one speed-dial key, or some way to make every button dial the same extension number - PoE (power over ethernet), so I can power it off the central switch - cheap enough to rip apart

Thers a box we can get here in Australia that has an RJ45 plug, a built in web server that has a config page and URL's to close/open one of 4 included relays. I use phpagi to hit the url and open/close doors that way. If anyone is interested, ill let you know URL's but its being sold from our local Jaycar agent.

Environment: Asterisk 1.2.14, FreePBX 2.2.0, Aastra 480i IP telephones firmware version 1.4.1.1077. Problem: Intercom feature: the dialed phone does not play the splash tone when auto-answering an intercom call. Otherwise, intercom works perfectly. Questions: What is the extensions.conf syntax to trigger a splash tone in Asterisk 1.2.14 (from the documentation and posts I've found, it has

A friend pointed out this url http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/pcat/clmn32.htm where it lists intercom/auto-answer as being a feature in Cisco Call Manager (which as I understand it, uses SIP predominately for handsets). I've come across comment somewhere that intercom isn't supported in the SIP spec. Does anyone know if the apparent capability of Intercom being available in SIP

I wasn't thinking of using the conference system as the basis. I was thinking more along the lines of: 1) Setup a second extension on the Cisco phone named "INTERCOM" enabled for auto-answer 2) Create a call group on asterisk to dial that "INTERCOM" extension on every phone that will participate 3) Add a feature code that would dial the intercom extension and connect

There was a thread a few months ago that tossed around some ideas for using a cisco phone for intercom or paging. I don't have any ip phones, and wondered if anyone had any luck getting intercom or paging to work on the cisco units. Do any of the (cheaper) ip phones have a way to support intercom or paging? I presume that it's not part of the SIP or IAX protocols. Chris.

I am trying to get one of the function keys on the Snom 200 working as an intercom. However, I can't get the other Snom 200 phone to auto-answer. I found some posts in the archives from Christian that talk about intercom=true and also the Call-Info header. However, I can't get either one to work. I have tried firmware 2.04g,2.04h,2.05f,3.33 and none work. I am using chan_sip2z.c and

I want to implement a one way announcement and paging facility using Asterisk and Sipura phones. The wiki says Sipura phones only support Auto Answer using the Call-Info header which is no lone shipped with asterisk stable since 1.0.4. I would like to ask if anyone has implemented a similiar facility using Sipura SPA-841 or any other SIP phones. If I could take a look at how

Hello all, I noticed that Cisco claims that you can do station to station intercom with the 7940/7960 phones, and the Cisco Call Manager. Does anyone have an example SIP header that shows this in action? Or is it something else that triggers the intercom? I would like to add this in to *. Thanks, Mike

I'm replacing a Merlin for a client and they have a PagePal Intercom that I would like to reuse. Here is what I know about it: It has a screw-down wires that goto rj-11 (This was told to me over the phone) that went into one of the Merlin ports. I tried bring it up with fxo_ks and fxo_ls (assuming it was analog and autoanswered) but no luck. I would be happy to replace if anyone knows of

I am using Console/DSP for an intercom. I want to play my MP3 collection over it when no one is using it, like when they do in the supermarket. Can anyone help me with this. Any suggestions will be appreciated. -- Christopher Dobbs

Hello Everyone, I would like to create an Intercom extension that will dial a group of extensions which are connected to SIP phones. The SIP phones are setup to auto answer a particular extension assigned to one of the lines in the phone. All phones must answer and broadcast the page message at the same time. Has anyone done this? Or should I install an overhead speaker system using the

Greetings, I need a 2 way intercom for separate kitchens to communicate without having to walk back and forth. The speaker has to be loud but clear, not distorted. Sometimes the kitchens can be noisy. It needs to be easy to use. It needs to be easy to clean. It would be nice if it used POE. Eventually I would like the kitchens to be able to dial different parts of the restaurant when I
